Dwight Buycks is no joke

if anyone watched the summer league game between the Suns and the Raps, I am sold on Dwight Buycks. He is lightening quick and is reminiscent of TJ Ford. He tore it up against the suns today. Stays with his man on D and that speed is just ridiculous. Yeah yeah, it's summer league, but c'mon, someone share my excitement at a guy who can be a legit backup for Kyle Lowry. I think he has waaay more potential than DJ Augustin.

PS: Quincy Acy is the man. I always knew he was going to be one of the favourites the moment he played for the raps. He hussles every single play and gets super emotional, which is what I think this team needs. He got hyped up and thug life in the game today like 7 times. I thought him and those Morris twins were going to throw down today. That's wsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

I like Buycks a lot too. Sure, it's summer league, but it's rare to see a player in complete control at ALL times during summer league. He handled the offense like a artist and I can't think of a single guard that could stay in front of him. Can't wait to see what he can do in the pros.

I wouldn't say he was 100% in control of the offense since there were multiple times where he make a pass that lead to a turnover, but I agree. He definitely impressed in Summer League and has intrigued me as to how he will pan out in the NBA...

Buycks was impressive alright but right now he's the Raps 3rd string PG. We'll see what he's made of come training camp when he compete against NBA players.

Agreed. For now, he's still a 3rd string point guard. As much as I don't like Augustin, I still feel more comfortable having him as our backup point guard FOR NOW since he has actual NBA experience over Buycks. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Buycks eventually takes over Augustin's minutes some time in the middle of the season...

Is it just me, or is Ujiri planning on trading Lowry, and having Buycks be the starter with Augustin coming off the bench.

I don`t think Ujiri is planning to trade Lowry although he`ll be open to it if a good offer comes along. Even if he (Lowry) is traded, there`s no way IMO they`ll go into the the season with Buycks as the starting PG. At least not yet. Too risky.

Why are we in love with this guy so fast and right away? Let's all calm down.

It's what we do on RR.

Liked what I saw of the games he was in. Seemed in control of himself, which isn't always true of players in SL.

He won't be cutting through the defense so easily during regular season play, but he will be mostly used against bench players. I think, at worst, he will look average against other teams second units. That will be a step up from last years Raps bench. So he seems to be a nice find for Ujiri.

I have a feeling he's going to surprise a lot of people, a la Anthony Parker. Experience has taught me the skill set difference in the best players overseas and the NBA bench players is not as far as you would think.

Is it just me, or does Buycks seem better than anyone we could've drafted in the second or late first round? He may be 24, but he's still got time to grow. If he wins the backup position from Augustin and drops something like a 7/4/2/2 line this year, we could be talking All-Rookie Second Team here! Not bad!
